  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I'm presently shadowing someone in my team with the vendor Palo Alto, and we're trying to pitch Palo to our internal sales team so that they can urge their customers to acquire Palo Alto's cyber security products. This is done by training days to educate them about the products they will be selling, account mapping for the external Palo Team they know which one of our internal sales team they would like to contact to bring more revunue.
